The Synthes 387.34 Conical Extraction Screw is a precision-engineered retrieval tool designed to securely engage and extract 7.3 mm cannulated screws—typically encountered when removing implants after bone healing or in revision procedures. With its conical geometry, the screw threads into the fractured or stripped screw's cannulation, creating a firm mechanical bond for safe and controlled extraction. This tool is particularly crucial when standard removal methods fail due to head damage or screw locking.

At a length of 7.5 inches (~190 mm), this extraction screw provides surgeons with the necessary reach and leverage to navigate deep or percutaneous approaches common in trauma or orthopedic surgeries. Like many Synthes instruments, it's crafted from durable surgical-grade stainless steel, offering high torsional strength and resistance to repeated sterilization cycles. Although typically provided non-sterile, the tool's robust construction ensures it can be safely sterilized within standard surgical instrument trays.

Functionally, the 387.34 integrates into Synthes screw removal sets and supports controlled retrieval strategies—particularly important in minimizing bone and tissue trauma during extraction. When paired with complementary tools such as the Small Universal Chuck (part of Synthes removal sets), surgeons gain precise control over the extraction process. Whether dealing with broken, jammed, or stubborn cannulated screws, the 387.34 serves as a reliable and effective component in the orthopedic surgeon's toolkit.
